[Starting the Fortune Gacha System.]
[1%… 20%… 70%… 100%]
[Initiation complete.]
[Greetings, Host.]
"Who is this?"
Alex was startled and suddenly got out of bed because it wasn't just the notice that surprised him. There was still another voice inside his head after that notification.
[I May Be Lucky Gacha System, Host. You can now communicate with your mind.]
Alex was silent before trying to check if it was true or not. He then closed his eyes and asked in his mind.
'Who are you?'
[I'm Your Lucky Gacha System, Host.]
“I've heard it before.. I asked your name... Did you insult me?”
[No, not me. My name is born of your new experience and determination. Trust me; you need it.]
"I want to say a lot about your name, but maybe I should just accept you for now."
Alex took a breath. He had no knowledge of the system other than the one he read from the book.
On Earth, she read everything other than academic books to help her sister, who was a genius in academics.
In that case, he decided to endure whatever system attacked his mind before complaining later.
“Stay, the way you speak doesn't look like Artificial Intelligence or anything like that. Instead, I felt like I was talking to someone.”.
[…]
“Judging from your reaction, are you trying to tell me that I am not qualified to get such information?” Alex took a breath.
"That's it then. I just want to ask what you can do."
[Thank you for your consideration. I am the Gacha System, so I only brought Gacha.]
"I read a lot of books about the system and all I know is that it should be OP, you're like them, aren't you?"
[Don't compare me to your imagination. It's just fictitious.]
“But I was actually transferred to another world.. Isn't that already fictitious?”
[NO. You live in the real world, right? Can't you realize it or do you still think you're dreaming right now?]
"No.. I mean-Hiz, I shouldn't be fixated on this little problem... So, you only have Gacha in you, right? Doesn't that mean you're useless?"
Alex unknowingly compares the system to the OP system in a fictional book.
[There is no useless system, there is only a useless Host. And you are one of them.]
“See... You now insult me.” Alex sighed, he already felt nothing about the insults as if he had gotten used to them.
[It's just my Automatic Defense, Host. It was to protect me from your insults. Besides, you should be able to make better use of me. If you're useless, that's all.].
"Anything." Alex shrugged his shoulders.
"So, what can I get from Gacha?"
[I have three types of Gacha: Gacha Technique, Gacha Tool, and Gacha Material. There were many types of manuals inside the first one, ranging from fighting techniques to additional methods. Similarly, the second, ranging from combat weapons to aids. Lastly, you can get any material such as ore, plants, or even food and water.]
"Then, how can I use Gacha?"
[Home master needs a Gacha Ticket. You can get it by killing living things.]
Alex suddenly furrowed his brows, he realized something was wrong.
“If I kill a human... I can also get a Gacha Ticket?”
[Yes, but the System wouldn't recommend it.]
"Why?"
The first confirmation gave him goosebumps, but he was confused by the last part. It was an easy way to obtain a Gacha Ticket if he could kill a human. After all, he only needed to go to war somewhere.
[Houselord must have good karma, or my name will be changed to 'Gacha System of Bad Luck.' I'm sure you can imagine what will happen next. So I suggest you only kill your enemies, not innocent people.]
“... Killing itself is bad. But, are you saying that I shouldn't kill people without thinking long?”
[Something like that.]
"good. I'll do what I can. Besides, I've never killed anyone in my entire life, let alone killed thousands."
Alex took a breath. He knew that he had been depressed all along but he had never been a psychopath.
[Thank you, Host.]
“I'm not trying to compare you with other systems, but I want to ask you one question... System, do I have a beginner package?”
[I would like to say no, but unfortunately, I am equipped with it.]
“Please do not joke about something like this.” Alex sighed.
[By the way, do you want to open it?]
"good. Open."
"I got ten Gacha tickets... Let's take a look... Use four for tools, four for techniques, and the rest for materials."
Alex tried his best to think of how to make the most of his first 10 Gacha Tickets wisely by dividing them into these proportions.
Whether it was the best choice or not, he would immediately find out.
[Processing.]
[Spear x1]
[Iron Sword x2]
[Sheep x1]
[Body Hardening Basic Manual x1]
[Basic Cultivation Guidelines x1]
[Fencing Guide x1]
[Basic Trap Manual x1]
[X2 Water Bottle]
"Two bottles of water? What's..."
Alex took a deep breath, calming his heart.
"Here you go, let's check out the other items first."
After looking at the list of items, Alex muttered.
“I can use the sword later and combine it with fencing. As for the spear.The range is longer, so I might have a chance to use it next time. As for the shovel, I can set a trap with it, like digging a hole or something else"
"I don't understand these two books: The Basic Body Forging Guide and the Basic Cultivation Guide. This genre is different, right? After all, I can become stronger by killing monsters, so why do I need both, System ?"
[Analyzing.]
[If we take into account the Host's memories of the 'Fantasy World Games and Stories' and the king's explanation of the legend, the System can speculate that when monsters are killed, they release some kind of energy, they release some kind of energy, which will be absorbed by the killer to strengthen his strength. We classify it as EXP or Experience Points. You can level up after collecting enough points.
[However, the System also speculates that people in legends have difficulty leveling up because the energy released from monsters is not pure enough. I can't speculate more than this without enough data.]
“So, tempering and cultivating this body is the solution?”
[The energy you absorb according to the manual is Heaven and Earth Energy. It is the purest form of energy. Whether it is the solution or not, you have to decide for yourself, Host.]
"so. That means I'm lucky to have them in my first Gacha chicken. If what you say is true, I can reach level one thousand and potentially reach my goal of paying those two back."
Alex said with a little determination. His eyes were actually hopeless as he felt that it might disappoint him again like he suddenly realized that he had no talent for it.
[Talent and Strength are important but they are not the deciding factor. The reason why men stand strong is because they have wisdom. You have to polish and use your wisdom to conquer everything and work as hard as you did on Earth. I'll support you and oversee your progress.]
Alex closed his eyes and agreed to the system, but he still did not know if he could do it or not.
He extended his hand to the ceiling and sighed. The last time he had the determination was a long time ago and was destroyed by his sister and parents, so he was used to not putting any hope in himself.
He shook his head and said, "Then, how can I learn the manual?"
[You just need to think about what you want to put out and say ‘Ekstrak’.]
“Extract,” Alex said while thinking about the names of the two books and how they look.
Suddenly, the two books appeared out of nowhere and fell on his lap.
“System, do you have instant or automatic learning function?”
[NO. You need to learn it manually.]
“As expected, you are a useless System.”
[Home master. Cultivation is a difficult process, not a shortcut, as you would like. Since you are comparing me to those fictitious things, how about comparing yourself to those MCs? They continue to learn manually and try hard.]
"Alright, alright. I just need to read it, right?"
Alex lost against the system in that ridiculous argument.
He picked up two manuals and started reading them. Each book was not too thick, so he should be able to finish it immediately. He did nothing at the moment while having enough money to support himself for a while. He decided to read it slowly and understand the concept.
“System, do you have storage or Inventory?” alex asked while reading the book. He forgot to ask her before.
[As long as the item comes from the system, you can store it in Inventory. If not, you need to find a way to keep it to yourself.]
“... System Not Useful.”
[…]
Meanwhile, the,
Somewhere far away, a woman was playing with her computer.
He stretched out his hand and chuckled.
"It's funny teasing you."
Although he laughed the entire time, there was not the slightest bit of happiness in his eyes, only sadness. He closed his eyes after that, recalling the memories of the past before tears suddenly flowed from his eyes and fell to the floor.
“Finally... A little more.”.
